Topic: RME Digiface Dante Update Gone Wrong

Hello

I updated the DANTE Firmware of my Digiface Dante to version 4.2.9.4 and the result was distorted audio when transmitting by Dante Network to other equipment. In this case the other equipment is a Ferrofish Pulse 16Dx and a Midas M32C with X-Dante card.

The distortion doesn't happen when Digiface Receives audio, either by USB or Dante, I checked it in the Phones Jack Output.

I had to rollback to firmware 4.2.5.3 so it could work properly again.

Why release a firmware that doesn't work? Please alert people that they shouldn't do the firmware update.

Thank you

4.2.9.4 includes important fixes for stream handling. On our tests (also with Ferrofish) we did not notice any distortion. Also this firmware comes from Audinate. If it would be broken more people would complain, and Audinate will update it. But so far there seems to be no general issue - and no further update.
